A catalog of explanations for poor performance

I came across a "catalog" of explanations for a lack of success.The athletes are like civil servants, they don't get results, they don't make enough effort.They don't train enough.They lack talent.The best young athletes are unimpressive.Everybody else is doping or cheating.The sport is tough, the athletes aren't tough enough.The athletes don't have the right attitude, their goals are too low,
